Aims & Scope

The Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics aims to provide a medium for dissemination of innovative and consequential papers on mathematical and computational methods in theoretical as well as applied mechanics. Manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a blind peer reviewing procedure conducted by the editorial board. The Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics devoted to the all fields of solid and fluid mechanics. The journal also welcomes papers that are related to the recent technological advances such as biomechanics, electro-mechanics, advanced materials and micor/nano-mechanics. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following topic areas: -Theoretical and experimental mechanics- Dynamic systems & control- Nonlinear dynamics and chaos- Boundary layer theory- Turbulence and hydrodynamic stability- Multiphase flows- Heat and mass transfer- Micro/Nano-mechanics- Structural optimization- Smart materials and applications- Composite materials- Hydro- and aerodynamics- Fluid-structure interaction- Gas dynamics
